Content Management and Capture

We are planning to decommission one of the document classes, so before decommissioning want to download all documents belongs to this class.

I am not sure if this can be achieved through sweeping, so basically document should be downloaded, and post successful download it should delete from the FileNet content engine.

Want to check if using sweeping this can be achieve or there is any other out of box feature we have in FileNet to achieve the same.

Thanks

You can either:

1. Write a custom sweep (using Java) that does what you want or
2. Use FDM to export the documents and then run a delete sweep job. This would not need coding but export with FDM is not suitable for large amounts of documents. I would probably say in the range of some 10k documents is a limit. FDM is not a high end export tool.

Sure you can, but it is a question of  amount of documents and desired throughput.
Note that the sample you provided only downloads, not delete documents
